DIRECTV residential customers want to unwind after a long day and enjoy their favorite TV programs. The last thing they need is a connection issue to keep them from their favorite shows. Though it’s rare, sometimes problems happen and subscribers need a quick fix. In a previous installment, we showed you how to fix five common DIRECTV problems. We’re back with four more DIRECTV fixes in this installment. From not being able to use your iPad to control your receiver to blocky picture and more, these tips will quickly return you to the DIRECTV programming you know and love.
If you have DIRECTV residential service, here are four more common connection issues and how to fix them:
Problem 1: iPad App Does Not Control the Receiver
Have you ever tried to control your DIRECTV receiver with your iPad only to get no response? If this ever happens, don’t freak out. Just follow these easy steps to regain control of your receiver:
- Check to make sure that the External Device Access is turned on
- Press the {MENU} button on your remote
- Navigate to: Settings&Help, Settings, Whole-Home, and External Device
- Press {SELECT}
- Set all three options to “Allow”
Problem 2: Genie Suffers Blocky Picture or Lost Signal
DIRECTV Genie systems sometimes have this problem. Fortunately for you, you can fix this issue by following this simple, four-step process:
- Check for loose cables or connections.
- Inspect all cables and ends to see if they have become bent or damaged. Next, inspect the ends to see if they are loose or corroded.
- Replace any damaged cables. Never install run cables under carpets or in places where water can accumulate.
- If cable runs are longer than 200 feet, consider rearranging the system or replacing wired receivers with wireless ones.
Problem 3: Receiver/Client Turns off After 4 Hours
Install Directv App
Whether you have a Genie receiver or other DIRECTV equipment, this sometimes happens. It was meant to be a convenient power-saving method that turns your TV off after four hours. It can be a helpful function for anyone who falls asleep in their couch or easy chair. It’s also a failsafe for those who forget to turn the TV off before leaving the house for work or trips. If you don’t need this protection, it’s easy to disable.
For non-Genie hardware, follow these steps:
- Press the {MENU} Button on the remote
- Go to: Settings&Help, Settings, Power Saving
- Turn Power Saving Off
For those using Genie hardware:
Directv Ipad App Can't Find Receiver

Problem 4: Can’t See all Channels in the Guide
- While watching live TV, press {INFO}
- Arrow over to “Favorites”
- Choose either “Channels I Get” or “All Channels” (Your choice)
If this doesn’t fix your DIRECTV connection issue, try this:
Log into your DIRECTV.com account and go to your “My Equipment” page. Choose the link for “Refresh Receiver” next to the receiver that’s experiencing issues. This process can take up to 10 minutes to complete.
